Eastwell Park, Kent, Estate from W. H. Ireland's History of Kent (1829)

During the late 1690s, my husband Heneage’s nephew, Charles Finch, invited us to permanently move in with him. We stayed at that estate for over 25 years. The quiet, countryside gave me an incredible environment to create my poems. Along with my husband, Charles was very supportive of my work. I know I would not be where I am today if it weren’t for the support of my family.
